Dear Belly,
I don't think it's a question of Left or Right. Republican or Democrat. Both parties need to represent the interests of the people and not the powerful. Things like healthcare/ Medicare, taxation, Social Security, are a concern, moving the economy forward for people who need not just a job but a job that provides a living. That's what Americans care about - according to the Los Angeles Times. Parties that are seen as being out of touch, elitist, without any good ideas on economic or pocketbook issues are going to have to lift their game. - They're going to have to give people a sense that they've turned the page and are not the same old, same old. In the US every part of the country is different and it's important to run a campaign that's suited to a candidate's own environment. People care about the policies that affect their lives.

put America first and put Australia first. Pollies selling out to corrupt organisations like the Paris accord and other UN thievery and corruption should be punished. Trump has been a breath of fresh air with great results.

An unfortunate truth confronts us all.
No party that has ever existed can please everyone. No perfection exists in politics, ArmChair critic,if you can not see first the tea party, then the mad hatter party, Trump, has moved to the right nothing I say will be of help. Let me briefly leave the topic, use the recent by election in longman Queensland, to prove apoint, 15 percent gave first preference to one nation, the very right. 6 percent however must have known, surely, in giving second preference they voted Labor. Democrats, at the lowest point in their party,s recent history, voted for Trump. In fact more Americans voted for Hillary, a clearly bad choice, than Trump So yes the Democrats will have got their act together, but will take some of Trumps ground by mimicking/taking some of his policies Posted by Belly, Sunday, 30 September 2018 5:22:48 PM

Armchair Critic Your comments to Belly are totally uncalled for.
Here is what you said. You've got to be kidding me right? Here we go again... Where do you get this fairytale from Belly? "Can the right continue to travel even further right? if they do can American then remain a Democracy?" Before I even respond to your statement, I want you to prove your statement is valid on it's own merits first. Can you do that? (Left out the middle parts ) These are the facts about Leftists and Liberalism. http://youtu.be/tlIjMJBSnRE I posted it yesterday or the day before, maybe you didn't get the memo. Watch it again, or clean out your ears or something... ** Firstly in my opinion he is making a comment about something. he is not stating a point that requires absolute proof, it is just his opinion. Also From you. Quote form Belly "Can the right continue to travel even further right? if they do can American then remain a Democracy?" Your reply Before I even respond to your statement, I want you to prove your statement is valid on it's own merits first. Can you do that? What you put in quotation marks are two questions, so what do you want him to prove? Secondly You provide a youtube link and state "These are the facts about Leftists and Liberalism." They are only the opinions of Dennis Prager the person in the video. Thirdly If you go back to where you originally posted the link to the video you will notice Belly did not even comment on that page so it is fair to say he did not see your link. http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?article=19958&page=0#352753 Finally Can you give me an example of something that given a broad cross section of any community say a few thousand people just 1 thing that would have 100% of the people for or against it. Fact is some will be for something some will be against something and others will be undecided in or close to the middle. Posted by Philip S, Sunday, 30 September 2018 5:48:54 PM

It's hard to understand this bloke, but I'm guessing he's ranting against conservatism as usual, in particular American conservatism this time, even though all we hear from that country is the whining of the Left, which is unable to accept a democratic vote that saw the incompetent, corrupt, born-to-rule Democrats kicked out, leaving America three trillion dollars in debt, economically weak, and a military laughing stock. Most of the whining comes about because President Trump has been successful and has kept EVERY ONE of his promises so far. The Left is livid because Donald Trump has done what they could never do, and had no intention of trying to do.
The Democrat party is a disgrace, making even it's Australian equivalent look reasonable. We see the anti-Trump, anti-democracy Storm Troopers out on the streets almost daily on TV. It is obvious where the problem lies. Another Kristallnacht is on the horizon. Not against Jews this time, but anyone who supported Donald Trump. The fascistic Democrats are already kicking people connected with Donald Trump out of restaurants and harassing them, egged on by the likes of the black female senator, Warren who doesn't like discrimination against African-Americans, but encourages it against Trump supporters and staff.
